I've been using Botox (for migraines) for many years. Should I expect any permanent effects on my face?

The migraines went chronic for me about a year ago and I'm finally given up and tried Botox. What should I expect, in a few years, if I decided to stop using it? I see a lot of celebrities (particularly women) that get the same "cosmetic face," but I'm not sure whether that is from the Botox or all the surgeries they've tried. (The weird "lips too full, eyes pulled too far back, straightened eyebrows, etc.")

I've read that there CAN be permanent effects from nerves being dead so long.

I had alopecia as a child with full regrowth and that was over twenty years ago. I am considering botox for wrinkles, but I don't want to do anything that would trigger the autoimmune condition. Could the toxin spread to the hair?
